Lyrics
400 Horses ©2026 Ronald G Brown
Dang rush hour, this ain't my style
My beater of a Chevy hasn't gone a mile
It's a brake-pedal party, stop 'n go hell...
Asphalt and tailpipes are all I smell...
I gotta ditch this big city traffic jam
And deprogram...
Gimme broken white lines painted nice and straight
Speed rated tires and a gas V-8
No cops in sight, and some rich octane
Pushin' four hundred horses...
Down a wide open two-lane
I need four hundred horses and a wide open two-lane...
Horns goin' off, jerks cuttin' in line
Lucky for them, I'm not the road-rage kind
There's a cracked-up van that needs to be towed
And a jack-knifed truck blockin' half the road...
I gotta ditch this big city traffic jam
And deprogram...
Gimme broken white lines painted nice and straight
Speed rated tires and a gas V-8
No cops in sight and some rich octane
Pushin' four hundred horses...
Down a wide open two-lane
I need four hundred horses and a wide open two-lane...
I want the world rushin' by my windows
T K singin' on the radio
I need an attitude fix, a little freedom in the sticks, don't I know...
Gimme broken white lines painted nice and straight
Speed rated tires and a gas V-8
No cops in sight and some rich octane
Pushin' four hundred horses...
Down a wide open two-lane
I need four hundred horses and a wide open two-lane
I need four hundred horses and a wide open two-lane
Four hundred horses and a wide open two-lane
